On November 11, 2016 at 4.30 pm, a large delegation of the Association of African Writers visited the headquarters of PROMETRA International. This visit is part of the partnership established with their counterparts of the Senegalese Writers’ Association, following their earlier visit to PROMETRA in September 2016.

A tour of the headquarters was led by Dr. Erick Gbodossou, President of PROMETRA International, including Radio METRAF FM, the Annette Mbaye D’Erneuville Communication Office, administrative offices, conference center and other structures.

The Association of African Writers visited an exhibition on the achievements of PROMETRA, its studies, its research results and a large part of the discussions revolved around the culture and cultual symbols that the participants from multiple countries wanted to understand.

Discussions continued in the PROMETRA conference room, where the meeting began with Ritual of the Circle of Union followed by the PROMETRA hymn. Dr .Erick GBODOSSOU, President of PROMETRA International, made a presentation of the Organization, highlighting its mission to preserve and protect the culture and values of African civilization. The Association of African Writers must be the torch bearer of the message to younger generations, but also to politicians and other partners, given the attention they receive from decision-makers.

The writers spoke to magnify the unique work realized by PROMETRA International and reaffirmed their commitment to be the flag bearers of the fight for the rebirth of African civilizational values.

Discussions focused mainly on writers’ questions about:

o traditional medicine,

o the common use of certain medicinal plants,

o the importance of nutrition in health,

o Traditional therapies for several diseases.

The President of PROMETRA International expressed his satisfaction at having on our side a credible and influential international association.
